All about ratings, renewals, and cancellations.
Get ready to hear many more proclamations of “POINTS!” throughout the new year. In a statement today, Comedy Central has confirmed that they are renewing “@midnight,” the awesome new late-night game show that gives you an opportunity to mock pop culture while meeting some new comedians / seeing old favorites, for a pretty massive batch […]
Mark it down now: By the end of this season, we believe that “Arrow” will be the highest-rated show on The CW. Sure, it has some competition from “The Vampire Diaries” and its former night companion in “Supernatural,” but when you look at a number of factors, from dropping ratings on Wednesday night to an […]
From this vantage point, there was never really any mystery at all surrounding whether or not “Hell on Wheels” would be back for a fourth season on AMC. When you consider the numbers that the show was drawing, and on a Saturday night, no less (a time where most programs typically go to die), it […]
It’s sad any time that you see a late-night show go, mostly because you know that from the host on down, everyone involved tried to do what they could to make it work. It’s even harder when your host in W. Kamau Bell seems to be a pretty honest and funny guy. Unfortunately, the writing […]
Let this once again be a lesson to anyone who makes a net TV show: It’s awesome to come into it with a ton of hype and some phenomenal ratings, but if you want people to actually stay around, you have to make it good. While “Agents of SHIELD” may have Clark Gregg and Coulson and […]
Odds are, you saw the following news coming based on some of the early results that were out there, and it is now official: The CW has commissioned full seasons of “Reign,” “The Originals,” and “The Tomorrow People.” These are shows that got off to solid starts in the ratings, and really did just enough […]
Is there ever going to be any saving Sunday-night network television? It feels like we never really have anything good to report here, at least save for the fact that millions upon millions of people love watching guys getting their heads smashed in during NFL football broadcasts. When it comes to the numbers for “Once […]
So has Britain really started to tire of “Downton Abbey“? Season 4 is the first time since the series’ inception that we have not seen the ratings surge on ITV, but at the same time, we’re not necessarily looking at a situation here where the numbers just fell out of the sky and the show was undeserving […]
While “The Blacklist,” like most other shows on TV these days, is losing a little bit of its audience over time, at least James Spader and company have found a way to really make that DVR audience stick around. This is a show that is at a far better position now than “Revolution” was at […]
NBC had a really good idea in theory to create the sort of supernatural-themed lineup on Fridays with both “Grimm” and “Dracula” being present and accounted for. So why isn’t it working out? We see this as being a problem of a few simple things, beginning of course with the fact that you strangely have […]
